Fighting on Your Behalf to Help You Recover Compensation

It is no secret that texting and driving is a terribly dangerous habit.
Unfortunately, many drivers, especially younger ones, continue to engage
in this hazardous and distracting practice, putting their lives and the
lives of others at risk. Looking away from the road, even for a matter
of seconds, can result in a deadly accident. In fact, if a driver is traveling
at 55 mph and looks away from the road for 5 seconds to read or send a
text, he or she would have traveled the length of a football field without
looking at the road.

you need to obtain skilled legal representation. At Del Rio & Caraway,
